Hello folks, We lost our family pup of 14 years last year just before Christmas big hole in the family. We rescued a 10 week old pup about 2 months ago and she's been a blast. Outside of the annoying chewing, which I had totally forgotton about comes with the cuteness of pups. We are having a tuff time identifying the major gene pool which she comes from. It was told to us Border Collie/Shepherd mix. No details of what kind of shepherd. The Vet and vet assistance all say she looks more Australian shepherd than Border Collie because of almond shaped eyes. Dogs eyes all look the same to me.
I’ll post a few pictures and welcome any ones opinion as to what her majority she is. Also if anyone can give me pointers how to tell between BC and Australian Shepherd on a 4 month old pup, please let me know.
It’s irrelevant as to what breed she is for she is loved so much. It’s pure curiosity and might help us be more in tune to what kind of play and how much play is appropriate for the little girl

The pup is simply too young to know for sure at this stage what breeds it may be. Come back with picks when it is 8 months to a year. At this time the physical development will be more pronounced where members will have a better idea but then again you may also know by then what it is.

I definitely see both the breeds in the dog, the face colors are more border collie but the shape seems more australian shepherd! But it will be hard to tell until the dog is older. Congrats on the new pup in the family!
